Camera Accessories in H.K.

Hong Kong is one of the best places to hunt for 1st Party Camera stuff like Lenses and 3rd Party stuff like Filters, strobes and other whatnot Camera Accessories.

This is because she is usually being used by the rest of Asia as a Port to distribute many electronic products and (2) its in China  – Where all the 3rd parties come from.

If you need some Places to Spark off your Search for Camera stuff, this post might be able to help you!

This is the place you will want to buy your LENSES.

The whole complex sells CAMERA STUFF – LENSES, BODIES, BATTERIES, even Flim and Polaroid stuff.

AS mentioned, HK is in CHINA, therefore, they resell SLR Magic lenses.

I really recommend this shop. The shop keeper’s a very nice guy whom showed me his entire collection of SLR Magic lenses.

He even asked me to try them out! Really nice dude.

Will try to uncover more Areas in HK as i go there regularly. Till then!
